Conflicts and natural disasters led to the displacement of 37 million people in Africa in 2023 , 3 times more than in 2009, according to a report by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre. Flooding alone accounts for more than 75% of these displacements while droughts cause 11%. Somalia, Nigeria, Sudan, Ethiopia, Congo accounts for 80% of Africa's internally displace person. These factors perpetuating the high level rate of internally displace people have a negative contribution to the continent's economy.
